DivX 6.6 codec


ideas

Recommended Posts


Why don't you look at the changelog, or encode a short video with the previous version, then do the same with 6.6 and compare the two side by side.
Here's a helpful link: http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/

Nutshell:

What’s new in the latest DivX Codec

Up to 12% faster decoding for smoother playback

Over 10% faster encoding in “Insane” mode

Up to 7% better compression for HD capture in "Fastest" mode

Experimental support for SSE4 on new Intel Penryn CPUs

so you are saying in comparison with Xvid, Xvid is better?

Yes. Much better image quality wise. Cherk out doom9 forum for more info.

Xvid also has dual core support if you have that kind of processor. Not sure about the ATi Avivo GPU encoding. I read that DivX has this.

I knew this 4 years ago when I was encoding raw AVI files from my MiniDV camcorder with DivX and XviD. XviD was smaller in filesize at the same bitrate but the colors were more crisp, less blocky, noisy, etc. DivX was blocky, merged a lot of colors and made it look like crap.

Nowadays, I don't know as I haven't done that in a few years.

Much better indeed. And if you don't need playback on those "divx players" (i.e. as long as it works on a PC), then try x264. It's far better than both quality wise.

how do u convert to x264 or what program is best used?

x264. That's the encoder. Its CLI.

Look at MeGUI at a starting point.

If you want to know more head on over to the Doom9 forum. This is what they do.
